Pros & Cons
Pros
The classic pieces are fun to move and look at. One of my favorites. Nice value for the price. Neat and beautiful.
This is the third set i ordered online to get one that was playable. The details in the craftmanship make it stand out as a work of art. The king and queen pieces are expertly handcrafted.
The board is large and doesn't feel flimsy. The board folds in half with pieces storing inside in form fitted spaces. I plan to make my oun board to go with these men.
Cons
This chess set is soon to be expensive firewood. It has a horrid smell.
The peices look ok, but they feel like a light cheap grade of wood. Also, the squares are exactly 2 by 2, not 2.
Highlights
Quality
The pieces are large and easy to handle and each are very solid
My husband really liked the set and felt it was good quality
The manufacturer should think hard about upgrading from plastic to something that doesnt take away from the crafemanship of this product
The pieces are lathed and wood burned not ink
Price
I can remember a couple years back i had a 20 wooden one but this set puts that one to shame
Very good craftsmanship at a fair price
With the prices we pay for things these days for the cost of a tank of gas you get something special
But for the value i am happy with the purchase

I am happy i picked this one and this really looks exquisite

Competitiveness
I was not sure if i should go with this one or to buy something that was about double the price but looked very similar

I looked for glue with a magnifying glass and it was only obvious where it should be the crown tip attachments of the opposite color and you’ll never notice it

People are concerned with weight but unless you are playing against your cat it will never cross your mind

If i had no life i’d remove the felt drill a little and glue a lead shot fishing weight inside

The one thing that some players wouldnt like is that they arent weighted
